Manual w202 pops out of 3rd Gear
I appreciate this might not be something most of you will be able to help with - I don't think the w202 was ever available in the US as a manual transmission.
However, I am hoping some of the Euro members might be able to help - maybe even Steve will read this........
1999 C230 Kompressor, manual, 98K miles.
Pops out of 3rd gear.
OK going up to 3rd and under load, but under light load, braking etc pops out of gear.
Mechanic thinks mounts are OK so problem is internal to the box.
Anyone else had this?
Any ideas?

Try shifting with your RIGHT hand?
Yes, I have a few mods, but they\'re so discrete, my wife hasn\'t noticed them.

Hey Graham, I've already replied on your English Forum, being mine also manual, really sorry to hear about this problem. I'm not a mechanic but, as per my little experience it should be, as said, an internal box problem, probably a worn gear
What's is strange is also if MB manual gearbox are not the best, they should last for a lot of kilometers/miles (as also experienced by Steve on his Classic Dinosaur with 555000? km).
Good luck.
i had the same problem with my infiniti g20... mechanic couldnt find a problem, i just had to hold the shifter in place for all gears, b/c 2nd/3rd and 5th would pop out

it was my beater... i didnt care to spend the $$ on it when it still went point a to b... he did basic diagnosis, pulled code, i wouldnt authorize pulling the tranny apart or a clutch job...

Ok I understand you are perfectly right.Originally posted by alboogiee

But my comment was referred to the mechanic that, in any case, should be able to diagnose where the problem is
very much agree, i have since then changed mechanics twice mostly due to incompetence and high prices...Originally posted by 1998K
